Etymology. The species epithet is a noun in apposition, refers to the Caaguaras indigenous tribe, first inhabitants of São Francisco de Paula in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Diagnosis. Males of G. caaguara can be distinguished from all other Glenognatha species by the conspicuously rounded basal apophysis of the paracymbium ( Fig. 73H View FIGURE 73 ). Females can be easily differentiated from all other Glenognatha (except G. gloriae ) by having three promarginal and three retromarginal teeth ( Figs. 72D–F View FIGURE 72 ); distinguished from G. gloriae by the slightly projected clypeus in lateral view ( Fig. 71F View FIGURE 71 ).

Male (holotype): Habitus as in Figures 71 A –D View FIGURE 71 . Carapace yellow-brownish, darker along furrows. Sternum brown with darker edges. Abdomen oval, strongly depigmentated, with irregular pattern of two diffused dusky bands that join medially at posterior region. Silver guanine spots scattered in two longitudinal bands dorsally and in lateral surfaces. Ventrally without silver spots. Legs light yellow-brownish. Total length 1.85.
